Dear Larry, my deepest condolences to you. "Aunt" Vi was a large part of my childhood. Every church conference I went to, it was Annie, Vi & Prentiss who looked after me while away. She was soft spoken and kind to me all those years. The last time I saw her, she wasn't sure who I was but that didn't matter. The smile she gave me after I hugged and kissed her was enough. May God bless and comfort you during this time. Carolyn Wilson-Loveless
